Jordan and Charlie welcome former U.S. Women’s National Team forward and two-time FIFA Women’s Player of the Year Mia Hamm to the show. Before diving into her standout career on the pitch, Hamm shares insights on her current involvement in the game, including her newly-announced role as an investor in Angel City, the NWSL expansion club slated to join the league in 2022. Hamm sheds light on the growth of the NWSL, the club’s mission, and her excitement in having so many USWNT alums involved in the venture. Hamm also looks back on her storied career with the U.S. Women’s National, which began in 1987 at the age of 15. One of the most prolific strikers in the history of the game, Hamm gives insights on the experiences and individual that shaped her development while also looking back on some of the lighter and lesser-known moments in her national team career, including being a role player at the inaugural Women’s World Cup in 1991 and her impeccable goals against average at the 1995 World Cup.
